HS Deburring

We’re still waiting on bits to wire the rudder trim, so we started deburring parts for the horizontal stabilizer.

Randy spent a long time with spar doublers.   Now he knows the pain.

I cut the two brackets that hold the horizontal stabilizer on, out of some aluminum angle.  The shape is quite difficult.   I wound up 1/32″ short.  It’s okay, I only spent several hours on them.  There are some pre-made ones on the internet for $25.  I’m just getting those.

I did start on the spar caps.  Parts for the horizontal stabilizer are long.  The horizontal stabilizer is 14 feet.  It’s starting to become more obvious that this is a big airplane.  I finished 2 of them, 4 more to do:

Berck: 6 hours, Randy: 6 hours.

  1. Airplane parts are big in general, I never realized it until I had to drive one somewhere. The horizontal stab for a Cessna 152 is 2 feet longer than my truck bed!
